The Get Lit Players stole the show Saturday evening at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. As the last act to appear on the Poetry Stage, the Get Lit Players ignited the crowd with their own blend of performance poetry.
Telling stories that shattered anyone’s idea of what poetry looks or sounds like. The Get Lit Players brought the audience to their feet at the end of their performance.
If you missed the chance to see them at the festival, don’t fret! The Get Lit Players have a packed season offering plenty of opportunities to witness their living, breathing art.
